[Verse 1]
We lift our eyes up to the skies and know that God is near.
The wonders of creation speak with voices loud and clear:
the sun to shine by day, the moon to glow by night;
we lift our eyes to heaven and marvel with delight.

[Refrain]
Thank you, God for ev'ry gift that comes from above,
for blessings that surround us and shower us with love.
Thank you, God for ev'ry gift; we lift our voice in praise
for the gifts of Your creation, for the gift of each new day.

[Verse 2 - "Now Thank We All Our God"]
Now thank we all our God with heart and hands a voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom the world rejoices;
Who, from our mother's arms, has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love and still is ours today.

[Refrain]

[Coda]
for the gift of each new day.  Thank you, God.
